Deep dives

Hierarchy of Perception and Ethics

The podcast discusses the hierarchy of perception and ethics. The human perception is not a passive recipient of sense data, but an active and conscious act that involves sacrifice and reduction of potential interpretations. Perception is tied to an ethics of aim, where attention is focused on what is deemed important, and the act of perception is nested within a structure that points to the highest ideals. The discussion explores how our perception of the world is influenced by an ethic of aim and the importance of determining what should be at the highest place.
